The Children's Book by A.S. Byatt (Vintage $16.95) "This is not a quick read at almost 700 pages. Byatt rewards such effort, however, by serving a literary feast, telling the story not only of these characters but of their world, one brimming with talk of anarchy and women's suffrage....Byatt fills a huge canvas with the political and social changes that swept the world in those years, and the devastation of war that swept its families. She elicits great compassion for the individual beings caught in that tableau. It's not a tale you'll soon forget." - USA Today

Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel (Picador $16) Winner of the Man Booker Prize 2010. "Thomas Cromwell remains a controversial and mysterious figure. Mantel has filled in the blanks plausibly, brilliantly. Wolf Hall has epic scale but lyric texture. Its 500-plus pages turn quickly, winged and falconlike....Hilary Mantel’s Wolf Hall is both spellbinding and believable." - The New York Times Book Review

In the Heart of the Canyon by Elisabeth Hyde (Vintage $15) "This novel follows 12 nature lovers and their guides for two weeks as they raft down the rapids of the Colorado River throught the Grand Canyon. Scenery and adventure abound, but the most important journeys are interior." -- New York Times Book Review

QRB Staff Reviews

With by Donald Harington (Toby $14.95) is a sensual, irresistible tale, full of unexpected twists and turns. What starts out as a suspenseful recounting of child abduction evolves into the story of eight-year-old Robin Kerr growing up in the wilds of the Ozarks, left to fend for herself on a remote, inaccessible mountain-top. Without "human" company for a decade, forced to live off the land, Robin is never alone; her animal companions grow more numerous year by year, and the "live ghost" of a young boy who once lived on the mountain is her constant companion. Harington has given us a fascinating and triumphant story of survival—and one of the most original love stories I've ever read. -- Nancy

The Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon (Hachette $17.99) This is a wonderfully atmospheric novel for readers 10 and up. The Carver family has just moved to an old house that holds the mystery to a tragic drowning. Vivid descriptions and sympathetic characters in a setting that ranges from enchanted gardens to sunken ships make this hard to put down. We are so pleased that this bestseller in Europe by the author of the celebrated adult novel SHADOW OF THE WIND, is now beautifully translated into English. -- Carol

............................................

The Spare Room by Helen Garner (Picador $14) is a short but powerful novel about tested friendship when a friend experiencing terminal cancer comes to stay with "Helen" to receive questionable treatment. There's not a wasted word in this novella, which is described by Peter Cary as "perfect." Poignant and unforgettable. -- Nancy

............................................

Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons (Penguin $15) This rural comedy/fairy tale parody will have you laughing out loud. It's a great lesson in how to eliminate melodrama and melodramatic people from our lives. It is with this intention that Flora Poste, armed with copies of THE HIGHER COMMON SENSE and MANSFIELD PARK as her magic wand, sweeps into gloomy Cold Comfort Farm as a self-appointed fairy godmother. -- Vicki

The Poisoner's Handbook

by Deborah Blum (Penguin $25.95)

Poisons & poisoners have long been with us, but how do you trap the killers if you don't know when poison is present, or if it's enough to kill? You don't have to be a CSI fan or a chemistry major to be fascinated by this account of the medical examiner and staff who started the field of forensic chemistry during NY's Jazz Age. Political scandals, juicy "trials of the century," and Prohibition outrages (e.g. deliberate poisoning by the government) fuel these crime & justice tales. And you'll definitely regard your next alcoholic drink in a new light! -- Rosemary
